Halloween 2013

It's been a long time since I have last blogged so I apologize in advance for the lengthy post! I had planned on blogging last week (before Zoe got sick) and Photobucket was down. Luckily we were able to enjoy Halloween festivities before and after Zoe was sick.

Picking out a pumpkin for Zoe at the pumpkin patch.

At the playground for our playgroup's Halloween party. Zoe woke up from her first nap with a fever after this on Friday. :(

And here she is Saturday evening after getting over her fever but starting to get a rash.

Here she is on Monday after a trip to the doctor where it was confirmed she had Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. I kept her home from My Gym on Tuesday even though she was not contagious. She still had the rash and I didn't want people thinking the rash was contagious.

Zoe having breakfast at Denny's on Wednesday before we ran errands. I got her whole wheat chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries, sausage, AND bacon. She also had a cupcake cup with orange juice and some of my hash browns. She has been getting to eat and drink whatever she wants for over a week now. I figured I just wanted her to eat when she was sick and I felt so bad about not taking her in earlier.

My bejeweled pumpkin.

Zoe's 'Z' pumpkin!

Nick's Coraline pumpkin.

Story time at the library on Thursday. I was determined to get Zoe out and about after almost a week with no interaction with other kids. It was pouring pretty much all day- we were worried we wouldn't get to take Zoe trick-or-treating. But the weather cleared up just in time for us to go out!

Here is Zoe after trick-or-treating. She had fun walking around the neighborhood and picking out candy from various bowls. We only went around our block but she managed to fill up her little bucket.
